Quad-core HTC Tablet Coming in Early 2012


HTC released the HTC Flyer as its single-core flagship tablet and the HTC Jetstream as its dual-core flagship.  What about its quad-core flagship?  A yet-unnamed HTC tablet bearing a quad-core processor is reportedly in the pipeline and scheduled for release at the Media World Congress (MWC) 2012 next year.
Taiwanese news site Commercial Times reports that HTC is planning to release a quad-core tablet, alongside two new Android smartphones, before Microsoft releases its Windows 8 operating system by 3Q 2012.
The HTC tablet will reportedly carry an NVIDIA chipset, presumably Tegra 3, which is NVIDIA’s quad-core processor.  Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich can also be expected onboard.
Along with two other Android-powered smartphones (codenamed Ville and Edge), this quad-core tablet will be made public at the MWC 2012 in Barcelona, Spain.  Rumors say that the HTC Edge will use a quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 chipset, while the Ville will come with a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 chipset.
The new tablet’s quad-core processor will put the focus on premium graphic performance, making it a multimedia center. It is at the same time made for low-power consumption at high performance.
HTC might also produce Window 8 powered devices, as the two companies have had a history together.
Critics observe that HTC is under a lot of pressure from competitors like ASUS, which has scheduled the release of its quad-core ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime into the market.
The days of quad-core smartphones and tablets are nearing.  If you could choose, which manufacturer would you want to make your next quad-core phone/tablet and what features would you like to see on the device?

Ipad 2 Accesories

Zagg have done it again and released what we are excited to say is the seasons MUST HAVE iPad accessory: The  ZAGGmate iPad case with keyboard . It’s not often that we get entirely blown away by an accessory for the iPad, but this one has left us shell shocked and in awe. The perfect compliment to your iPad, this is the first iPad keyboard case combo that we have seen yet that has done it right. In fact, it’s the best bluetooth keyboard we’ve seen to date as well! It’s so right and so perfect that we already wonder how we ever used our iPad without it! Check out the review below… ZAGGmate with Keyboard The iPad’s New Best Friend Our first impression of the ZAGGmate was: “Where’s the rest of it?” This iPad case is unlike anything else we’ve seen on the market to date and the designers at Zagg worked hard to literally rethink what an iPad case could be. This is an iPad case that doesn’t cover the whole iPad, but rather just covers the iPad’s screen, and leaves the back of the tablet...

Ipad 2 Apps: Skyfire Web browser Review

Ipad 2 Apps: Skyfire Web browser Review Skyfire for the iPad made headlines when it was first released, due to its ability to play Flash videos on a device previously void of this popular technology. Users flocked to the App Store, eager to drop five bucks for the chance to view their favorite clips, shows, and movies on their iPad. Not only did the browser play these videos, but the integrated video compression saved a significant amount of bandwidth for people on a restricted data plan. The initial excitement wore off quickly, though, as complaints were rampant about many sites not playing videos as expected. Since its inception Skyfire has certainly improved in this area, now claiming support for over 200,000 websites containing Flash. The dissenters will always be there as not every Flash video on the Web will be playable, even if the developers at Skype Labs remain diligent. Some of the backlash is warranted to a certain extent. If I paid $4.99 with the intent of viewi...
